I chose to live in the care home. Getting older and less well, it is very helpful to have staff available who are pleasant and supportive. Also, my apartment is pleasant, as is the sitting room. I imagine that it is good for events. My daughter is pleased that I am cared for and that I am happy.

Review from A H (Wife of Resident) published on 24 August 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Initial visit to Hambleton Grange, with the excellent receptionist, we were impressed. My husband went in at the end of June for 2 weeks of respite with a view to a long-term stay. His advanced stage of Vascular Parkinson's makes it very difficult for me to manage at home. Within a short time, he developed
sores on his buttocks and no one mentioned this until I helped change him. He saw the district nurse but the condition worsened. There were insufficient staff to help him use a urine bottle when needed. Urine bag often not rinsed out and urine on the bathroom floor. The food seemed quite good. Some care staff were excellent and some very poor and no liaising between management and me. He is now home again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Relative has settled well into new accommodation. Helped by a calm, supportive atmosphere provided by staff.
They are all kind, patient, and sensitive to individual needs and preferences of the residents.
Standard of personal care provided is high and dignity/privacy maintained as appropriate. Residents
encouraged to mix but can have quiet times in their rooms if desired.
Visitors are made welcome throughout the day and staff are aware of changes in management of care and update relatives as required.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Prior to 2019, my wife and I lived in a certain location and were delighted to get my wife into Hambleton Grange where we could visit her, having received good reports of service and staff, service and the food is of a high standard. The rooms are clean and the accommodation is of a high standard. The
existing doctor's practice is the same as ours as their records will show. We have been treated well by all staff and management.

I am extremely grateful for the care given to my wife and the support given to me personally from the carers and staff. It was reassuring to know that she was in a secure and safe environment.
I was able to visit her daily and would recommend Hambleton Grange to any family needing dementia care for
their loved ones. Thank you.

Review from Tom W (Son of Resident) published on 25 August 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother became a resident at Hambleton Grange care home in February 2022. It was a relief to me that she was admitted to the home, as she had a number of medical needs. Throughout her time at Hambleton Grange, I was totally satisfied with all aspects of her care. The staff were excellent. Nothing
was too much trouble for them, and they were extremely considerate to both residents and visitors. From the moment I entered the building and was greeted by the front-of-house manager, I knew my mother was in capable hands.

We found that the home had improved greatly since our previous visit. All the staff we met were extremely welcoming, and staff on the top floor went over and above to be helpful. We visited with our daughter and young grandchildren, and the staff were so kind to them - providing drinks, biscuits and
crisps and ensuring a welcoming room to visit our relative. Our visit was very uplifting, and the atmosphere seemed so much more cheerful.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Now the home is open for visits after the pandemic, a huge amount needs to be done to be more welcoming to visitors. On a recent visit we felt like we were a nuisance for visiting. Temperature checking is still inaccurate (reading far too low). We have pointed this out for months. Staff seemed preoccupied,
not friendly, but quite curt.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This was respite care for two weeks. My husband has no short-term memory. When I telephoned the first day, he told me he was lonely and I think he needed help to feel comfortable. One day he did not look great, with unbrushed hair and a very poor shave. My husband told me the food was fine, I could
not get any news about activities.

Review from Karen N (Respite Resident) published on 28 September 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been at Hambleton Grange for two weeks for respite following surgery - my late husband spent a long while here. My only serious complaint is the bedding. Trying to sleep on a rock hard mattress with a slab of concrete called a duvet for cover and my head on two lumpy pillows which long ago should
have been given to the local animal shelter - not conducive to a night's much-needed rest. Please, ideally send a rep to spend a night and I'm sure you'll agree. At £1100 per week - not on!

We are very grateful for this review and would like to say thank you for taking the time to post this for us to see!

Choosing the right care home for mum was a very daunting and responsible decision but from walking through the doors on our very first visit we have always been made to feel very welcome. We are encouraged to treat Hambleton Grange as mum's home and visit whenever we choose. Mum has settled extremely
well. The care and support that she receives is excellent and the staff and management are very helpful to us all. Mum will often tell me that she is in a lovely hotel with very friendly people and she is having a great time - I think that says it all! I would certainly not hesitate to recommend Hambleton Grange.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.573)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.573) out of 10 for Hambleton Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.573 for Hambleton Grange is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.573
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hambleton Grange is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
